Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of George Eisenhart of York County, Pennsylvania.
The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, R. 3275, based upon the service of George Eisenhart during the War of the Revolution.
George Eisenhart was born in the year 1757 in Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Conrad Eisenhart, name of his mother not given.
He applied for pension, September 8, 1835, then a resident of Manchester Township, Pennsylvania, and alleged that he enlisted sometime in July, 1776, served as a substitute for his father, in Captain Michael Smyser's company, Colonel Swope's Pennsylvania regiment, until about the middle of November, 1776, and that he served in the fall of 1777, three months in Captain George Geishelman's company and guarded prisoners in York County; this service was, also, as substitute for his father.
The claim was not allowed as proof of six months' service as required by the pension law was not furnished. There is no reference to wife and children.

Madam;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 3275, it appears that George, son of Conrad Eisenhart, was born in 1757 in West Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania.
While residing in said West Manchester Township, he alleged that he enlisted in July 1776 and served to November 1776 in Captain Michael Smyser's Company, Colonel Swope's Pennsylvania Regiment, and in the fall of 1777, served three months in Captain George Geishelman's Pennsylvania Company.
He applied for pension September 8, 1835, while living at West Manchester Township, Pennsylvania, but his claim was not allowed, as he failed to furnish specific proof of service as required by the pension laws.
The remainder of this letter is in John Leas. W. 2133-Pa

Sir
I have the honor to return you the letter of Mr. May respecting the case of George Eisenhart - He alleges two terms of military service as a substitute and furnishes evidence of but one altho he continues to reside within reach of his old comrades & neighbors - The regulations require the best obtainable evidence - The service for which he has procured a certificate is estimated at 3 mos while Christian Hane - to whose case Mr. May refers complies and is allowed for 2 mos - This renders it the more indispensable that he should show by evidence that the other was at least 4 mos -
